DUESSELDORF, March 19 (Reuters) - A deadline for German
antitrust authorities to give possible initial approval for
Italy's UniCredit in taking a substantial stake in
Germany's Commerzbank expires on April 14, a
spokesperson for the regulator said on Wednesday.
Last month, UniCredit lodged an application with the German
authorities for the approval, and earlier on Wednesday the
Italian bank's CEO said the authorization process was taking
longer than expected.
